With regard to Bill C-21, there had been some discussion between the clerk and my office earlier today about an additional witness because of the case that surfaced earlier this week, the Ponzi scheme case, where the charges were all dropped. I would like to have some indication....
For me, and I’m not being overly political here, if we are going ahead with Bill C-21, and we have that kind of process going on, which I don’t think is occurring just in Ontario, you wonder why we bother with the legislation. It’s actually going to expand the number of potential offences for white collar crime. You have charges under existing law, and then they’re stayed, and not only stayed but dropped, without any proceedings.
I would like a witness who could give us some sense of what in fact is occurring in Ontario.
